Here is my very first Facebook profile photo. I love it for two reasons: One: My hair looks rather fabulous. Two: It’s with one of my favorite friends, Rebekah, on one of the most important days of her life – her wedding day. Her hair also looks rather fabulous. I know, I have pretty friends […]

“Oh, there’s my best friend!” Kaylie pointed over the counter at Scoop to several self-portraits hanging on the wall drawn by young hands. I scanned the first-grade faces in colored pencil and looked for Kay. “Where’s yours?” “I don’t know. It’s not up there.” Bummer, I thought, Kay’s wasn’t good enough to make the […]

Aimee -Thanks! That reminds me, I’d love a subscription to that magazine you mentioned in your last email about raising kids :)

Amanda -Wow! I love her self portrait….ask her what materials she used….I want to do this with my class and use hers as an example! Although Im not expecting my class to turn out something as good as her haha

Isabelle is my 3.5 year-old niece. Well, she’s my cousin’s daughter, but in our family it’s the same thing. She’s the very first grandbaby on my dad’s side and we are all pretty much in agreement that she melts your heart. Check out this little FB smile here. One of her new aunties just had […]

Aunt Rosa -This is so “FB” Isabelle. She’s so precious and precocious (my how similar those two words are, he, he). She does remind me of other FB’s I know…..including when I look in the mirror, yep, I’m one of them too. We should form a club, what do you say?

It was the summer of 1982 and my mom had big news for two-year-old me: I was going to be a big sister! And I had news for her: I wanted a baby sister! “Maybe it’s a boy, Aimee. We have to be happy with what God gives us.” “But I want a sister.” Did […]

Alex -It’s so sweet how you believe you’re going to be the boss of Baby-Babe. That’s exactly what I thought when I had y-o-u. Just wait till she’s two!

Aunt Rosa -Aimee and Seth, I’m so happy for you! Little girls are great….and I say it from experience. And, also remember the saying “Boys are your children until they get married, girls are your children forever!!!!” YEAH!!

Amanda -I would just like to note that the only reason I ran into the wall was because I was beating you in a race. haha And come on…sell your diary secrets to mom? How smart was I? Gotta make a few bucks where you can sometimes. ;) Mom was a paying customer..I should have hiked up the prices….

Aimee -Please! This is how urban legends get started ;) Also, I think you owe me at least a Dewar’s ice-cream from your diary reading profits!

Week 19 Dear Baby Babe, You’re moving! I was at the vet with Patch on Friday when all of a sudden I felt this little flutter on the right side, high on my stomach. I did what I always do when I don’t know what’s going on with something health-wise and texted your Grandpa Augusto […]

Aunt Rosa -Isn’t it wonderful how much you love this little creature whom you haven’t even seen yet? Motherhood is wonderful…..yet…grandmotherhood puts the icing on the cake! I’m truly happy for you, Seth, Grandpa Gusti, and Grandma Alex….you’re all in for the time of your lives :)

Alex -Thanks so much for inviting me to be at the sonogram, which was amazing! I loved seeing my grand-baby for the first time myself. I think she waved at me. . . 

Aimee -At least you didn’t blog the photo this time when you waved back! ;)
